The tunnel detection function is available in
cars with rain sensor*. The sensor detects the
entrance to a tunnel and resets the lighting
from daytime running lights to dipped beam.
Approx. 20 seconds after the car has left the
tunnel, the lighting returns to daytime running
lights. If the car is driven into another tunnel
within this time period then dipped beam is
kept switched on. This avoids repeated
changes to the car's lighting.
Move the stalk switch gently towards the
steering wheel to the position for main beam
flash. Main beam comes on until the stalk
switch is released.
